Photosynthesis is an important remaining opportunity for further improvement in the genetic
yield potential of our major crops. Measurement, analysis, and improvement of leaf CO2 …

Increasing global population and climate change uncertainties have compelled increased
photosynthetic efficiency and yields to ensure food security over the coming decades …

Complex biological processes such as plant growth and development are often under the
control of transcription factors that regulate the expression of large sets of genes and …

Red and blue light are traditionally believed to have a higher quantum yield of CO2
assimilation (QY, moles of CO2 assimilated per mole of photons) than green light, because …

In photosynthetic organisms, d-ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase
(Rubisco) is the major enzyme assimilating atmospheric CO2 into the biosphere. Owing to …

Rubisco catalyses the carboxylation of ribulose‐1, 5‐bisphosphate (RuBP), enabling net
CO2 assimilation in photosynthesis. The properties and regulation of R ubisco are not …

Past increases in yield potential of wheat have largely resulted from improvements in
harvest index rather than increased biomass. Further large increases in harvest index are …

Abstract Rubisco (ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase) enables net
carbon fixation through the carboxylation of RuBP. However, some characteristics of …

The need to accelerate breeding for increased yield potential and better adaptation to
drought and other abiotic stresses is an issue of increasing urgency. As the population …

Global warming threatens food security by decreasing crop yields through damage to
photosynthetic systems, especially Rubisco activation. We examined whether co …
